Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Miami University requires incoming freshmen and sophomores to live on campus for the first two years. The freshman dorms are not horrible, but they are small and usually located in inconvenient places, such as the far ends of campus. The sophomore dorms are for students who are unaffiliated with Greek life (members live in sorority or fraternity housing) and are also inconveniently located. However, they are much nicer inside and are usually equipped with a private bathroom, as well.

For girls in Greek life, the Central Quad dorms are very spacious and nice. The girls are grouped with their sorority in corridors, so not only do they have nice rooms with a convenient location, but they are able to live with their closest friends. The guys in the Greek system are usually allowed to live off campus in their frat houses, unless they have violated the University's behavior policy or have not earned the proper grades.

Average Dorm Rooms

Dorms are pretty nice. Most have community bathrooms though, and some are in remote locations of campus, which require a long walk to some academic buildings and the rec center. Maintenance and sanitation in the buildings is great though, and room size is average.

Housing Rating

The housing is exactly what one would expect when going off to college. Shower shoes are necessary, bathrooms are not as clean as one would like, and the rooms are liveable. I cannot speak for all dorms, but I enjoy mine because I can personally control the temperature. In others, they are unable to control their heat because the thermostat is not in their rooms.

Outside Looking in

The lack of diversity was a huge issue for me. Coming from a small town in Ohio, I felt as if I were an outsider. Every guy wears the same kind of clothes and girls all dress alike as well. And yes it is true that everyone dresses up for class. Some people may argue this, but it is true. However, everyone here is very career driven and the competition is fierce, so academically I have no complaints.

Western Campus is actually on the east side of Miami.

All Miami residence halls are no more than three stories above ground. Tall buildings would stand out like a sore thumb in quaint, historic Oxford.
